People say, “God will never give you anything you can’t handle” or “God would never ask you to do something you can’t do”

Actually, yes He will. He gives us things we CAN’T handle and he CALLS us to do things we CAN’T do on our own so that HE can get ALL the Glory! If he called us to say and do things we could do on our own, all the glory would be given to us and we wouldn’t “need” Him.

But it’s not about us. I know God gives us things we can’t handle so that we will learn to trust HIM and trust HIS power, and not ourselves.

“I have brought YOUR glory on earth by completing the work YOU gave me to do” -Jesus {John 17:4}

Stressed? So little time for a long to-do list? Have you believed the lie that you don’t have enough time to do what you’re supposed to do?

What has GOD called you to do? Whatever it is, there’s enough time for you to do it. If you are constantly busy and overwhelmed, you have lived up to others demands and not the Lord’s work. Jesus’ ministry lasted about 3 years. After he died, rose again, and ascended into heaven, people were still sick, people’s hopes of him becoming a political leader had died, but he left knowing He did exactly what God asked of him.

When’s the last time you went to sleep knowing you did all that you were supposed to get done?

Perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate. What has God called you to do TODAY? Anything extra you have expected of yourself, or what others have expected from you will steal the life God intended you to live.
